| Good morning. It's Tuesday, April 5. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office and Florida Highway Patrol are cracking down on aggressive driving on I-4 in Seminole County. Deputies and state troopers wrote 417 citations for drivers over the weekend. Local authorities say identity theft is a growing problem here and across the country. Last week officials announced the arrest of an Orlando couple accused of stealing hundreds of Florida residents' identities and using them to apply for public assistance. Also see photos from the Drink Around the World event that took place this weekend. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great day. Within the span of four days, three people were killed in a pair of crashes on a six-mile stretch of Interstate 4 in Seminole County. One was caused by speed, the other by reckless driving, said Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes.
